But wait! I heard that 50 % of the people who have the Corona virus, don't know that they have it! Does this mean that the above numbers are more favorable than shown?
But wait! I heard that 40% of the people who are exposed to the Corona virus won't contract it at all? Does that improve the chances for survival?
The news media doesn't approach the virus from this point of view and I understand why. I am not a scientist, so please don't get mad at me if you disagree. If I am going to worry, then maybe I can worry intelligently! Be diligent and be safe! God bless you!
The "media" is trying to tell people that this is a diseases that anyone can get and that no one has an immunity to.
So then the "media" say what the death rate is because if the death rate was almost nothing it would be less of a concern.
If people reading the "media" panic that is on them.
There is "news" and there is "opinion"...both fall under the "media".
Too often people listen to the "opinion" and say the "news" is blowing things out of proportion.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
